vidod that no packet OF letters conveyed
by the water mails shall be charged more
than quadruple postage, unless the same
shall cont1in more than four distinct
letters. No packet to weigh over .
pounds.
This law, so far as letters were con
cerned, remained practically unchanged
until the act Of March 3, 1916, when
the rates were fixed for single letter
weighing not over half an ounce and
for distance not exceeding 300 miles,
at cents; and for any distance over
800 miles, 10 cents. This was the first
act that provided for the delivery OF
drop letters, or letters for delivery at
the office where mailed, and the rate
was fixed at cents each.
Some idea of the rate of speed at
which the malls were conveyed In the
early part Of this century can be had
from the fact that at the opening of the
office at Memphis, Tennessee, the time
from Portland, Me-, to that Office was
fixed at A days.
NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.
The act of March 8, 1925, provides
In reference to the conveyance Of news.
papers that they shall be under cover,
open at one end, and charged with
postage at the rate Of cent each for
any distance not more than 100 miles,
md II cents for any greater distance;
be postage of any single newspaper
from one place to another In the same
State not to exceed cent. This act
provides for transmission In the mails
TO subscribers Of such magazines and
pamphlets as are published periodically,
when the mode of conveyance and the
size of the mall will admit of 1t, at the
rate OF 4 cents per sheet for any dis.
tance not exceeding 100 miles and 81
cents for any greater distance. If such
magazines and pamphlets are not pub.
lishcd periodically, they shall be
charged with q postage of 4 cents each
sheet for any distance not over 100
miles and 0 cents for any greater dis
tance; Provided, that the Postmaster.
General In any contract he may enter
into for the conveyance of the mail
may authorize the person with whom
such contract is to be made to carry
newspapers, magazines aud pamphlets
other than those conveyed In the mail.
The importance of the position of a
Postmaster. General in those days was
not appreciated, and his salary was
much of the time considerably less than
that of the heads of the other Depart.
menls. Not until the administration of
President jackson was the head of the
Postoilice Department invited to seat
in the Cabinet.

see what vineyard, or what house, or what
field He owned. Not one. OF what mortgage
was he the mortgage? OF what tenement
was He the landlord? OF what lease was He
the lessee? Who ever paid Him rent? Not
owning the boat On which He sailed, or the
beast on which He rode. or the pillow on
which He slept. He had so little estate that
in order to paw His tax He had
to perform a miracle, putting the amount
of the assessment in fish's mouth and having
it hauled ashore And after his death the
world rushed in to take an inventory of His
goods, and the entire aggregate was the gar
ments he had worn, sleeping in them by night
and travelling in them by day, bearing on them
the dust of the highway and the saturation OF
the sea. Paul, in my text, did not go far from
hitting the mark, did he, when he said of tho
missionary Prince: "For your sakes he be-
came poor?'
The world could have treated Him better
if it had chosen 1t had all the means for
making His earthly condition comfortable.
Only few years before when Pompey, the
general, arrived at Bfindisi he was greeted
with arches and a costly column which cele-
brated the twelve million people whom he had
killed or conquered, and he was allowed to
wear his triumphal robe in the senate. The
world had applause for impurial butchers but
bufteting for the prince of peace. Plenty of
golden chaIices for the favored to drink out of
but our prince must put his lips to the bucket

in the estimation of nearly all the prosperous
classes. They called Him a Sabbath-breaker,
wine-bibber, traitor, blasphemer, and ranSack-
ed the dictionary of opprobrium from lid to lid
to express their detestation. can think now
of only two well-to-do men who espoused His
cause, Nichodemus and Joseph of Arimathea.
His friends for the most part were people who,
in that climate where opbthalmy or intiamma-
ton of the eyeball sweeps ever and anon
as a scourge, had become blind, sick people
who were anxious to get WELL and troubled
people, in whose family there was some one
dead or dying. If He had purse at all it was
empty, or we would have heard what was
done with the contents at the post mortem.
